Acts 16
1 पावल डर्बी र लिस्त्रा शहरहरूमा पुगे। ख्रीष्टका एकजना चेला तिमोथी त्यहाँ थिए। तिमोथीकी आमा यहूदी थिइन् तर येशूमा विश्वास र्गथिन्। उनको बाबु ग्रीक थिए।
2 लिस्त्रा र आइकोनियमवासी विश्वासीहरूले तिमोथीलाई सम्मान गर्थे। तिनीहरूले उनको विषयमा राम्रो कुरा गर्थे।
3 पावलले आफ्नो यात्रामा तिमोथीलाई साथ लान चाहन्थे। तर त्यस इलाकामा बस्ने यहूदीहरूलाई उनको बाबू यहूदी होइन ग्रीक हुन भनेर थाहा थियो। यसैले पावलले यहूदीहरूलाई खुशी पार्नको लागि तिमोथीलाई खतना गरे।
4 तिनीहरू शहरहरू हुँदै यात्रा गरे अनि यरूशलेमका प्रेरितहरू र अग्रजहरूले दिएको निर्णयहरू र नियमहरू विश्वासीहरूलाई बताए अनि तिनीहरूलाई यी नियमहरू पालन गर्न भने।
5 यसकारण मण्डलीहरू विश्वासमा बलियो बनिदै अनि दिन प्रति दिन संख्यामा बढदै थियो।
6 पावल र तिनीसंग अन्य मानिसहरू फ्रिगिया र गलतिया भन्ने देश हुँदै गए। पवित्र आत्माले तिनीहरूलाई एशिया देशमा देश सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्ने अनुमति दिनु भएन।
7 पावल र तिमोथी माइसिया देश तिर लागे। तिनीहरू बिथनिया देश जान जाहन्थे। तर येशूको आत्माले त्यातातिर जाने अनुमति दिनु भएन।
8 यसर्थ तिनीहरू माइसिया देश भएर त्रोआस शहर गए।
9 त्यस रात पावलले एउटा दर्शन पाए। उनको दर्शनमा एकजना मानिस म्यासिडोनियाबाट उनकोमा आयो। त्यस मानिस त्यहाँ उभियो र विन्ती गर्यो, “म्यासिडोनिया पार गर्नुहोस अनि हामीलाई सहयोग गर्नुहोस्!”
10 पावलले त्यस्तो सपना देखे पछि हामी तुरन्त म्यासिडोनिया जान तयार भयौं। हामीले बुझ्यौं कि परमेश्वरले हामीलाई ती मानिसहरूलाई सुसमाचार भन्न बोलाउनु भएको हो।
11 एउटा जहाजमा त्रोआस छाडी हामी समुद्र यात्रा गर्दै सोमोथ्रेसको टापुतिर गयौं। अर्को दिन हामी समुद्र यात्रा गरेर नियापोलिस शहर आई पुग्यौं।
12 त्यसपछि हामी फिलिप्पी गयौं। यो म्यासिडोनिया अञ्चलको मुख्य शहर हो अनि यो रोमीहरूको शहर हो। हामीहरू यहाँ केही दिन बस्यौं।
13 विश्रामको दिनमा हामी शहरको मुख्य फाटकबाट निस्क्यौं अनि नदी तिर गयौं। हामीले सोच्यौं कि त्यहाँ प्रार्थना गर्ने एउटा ठाउँ हुन सक्थ्यो। केही पत्नी मानिसहरू त्यहाँ भेला भएका थिए। यसकारण हामी बस्यौं अनि तिनीहरूसंग बात गर्न लाग्यौं।
14 त्यहाँ थाइआटीरा भन्ने शहरबाट लिडिया नाउँकी एक पत्नी मानिस पनि थिई। उसको पेशा बैगुनी लुगा बेच्ने थियो। तिनले साँचो परमेश्वरको आराधना र्गथिन्। लिडियाले पावल बोलेको सुनिरहेकी थिई अनि प्रभुले पावलले भनेको कुरा विश्वास गराउन उसको हृदय उगारिदिनु भयो।
15 तिनी र उनका घरमा बस्ने सबैलाई बप्तिस्मा गरियो। त्यसपछि लिडियाले आफ्नो घरमा हामीलाई निम्तो गरिन्। तिनले भनिन्, “यदि तपाईंहरूले मलाई प्रभु येशूको साँचो विश्वासी मान्नु हुन्छ भने, मेरो घरमा आउनु होस् अनि बस्नु होस्।” तिनले आफ्ना घरमा हामीलाई बस्न भनी जोड गरिन्।
16 एक समय जब हामी प्रार्थना स्थलमा गइरहेको बेला यो घटना घट्यो। एउटी नोकर्नी केटीले हामीलाई भेटी। उभित्र एउटा खास आत्मा थियो। त्यस आत्माले उसलाई भविष्यमा के हुन सक्छ भन्ने कुरा बताउने शक्ति दियो। त्यसो गरेर त्यस नोकर्नीले आफ्नो मालिकहरूको निम्ति धेरै पैसा कमाउने गर्थी।
17 त्यस केटीले पावल र हामीलाई पछ्याई। त्यो चिच्याई अनि भनी, “यी मानिसहरू एकदमै सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको दास हुन्! तिनीहरूले मुक्तिको बाटो तिमीहरूलाई बताइरहेछन।”
18 उसले यस्तो धेरै दिनसम्म गरी। यसले पावललाई दिक्क लाग्यो अनि यसैले उ फर्क्यो अनि त्यो आत्मालाई भन्यो, “येशू ख्रीष्टको शक्तिले म तँलाई आज्ञा गर्छु, त्यस केटीबाट बाहिर निस्की!” त्यो आत्मा लगत्तै बाहिर निस्क्यो।
19 यस केटीका मालिकहरूले त्यो देखे अनि तिनीहरूलाई थाहा भयो अनि तिनीहरूले बुझे कि अब त्यस केटीलाई पैसा कमाउन सक्तैनन्। यसैले तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई पक्रे अनि मुख्य ठाउँमा पुर्याए जहाँ शहर अधिकारीहरू थिए।
20 पावल र सिलासलाई पक्रेर ल्याए अनि हाकिमहरूलाई भने, “यी मानिसहरू यहूदी हुन्। यिनीहरूले हाम्रो शहरमा गडबडी गराईरहेछन्।
21 यिनीहरूले रीति-थितिहरू सिकाउँदैछन जो हामीलाई ग्रहण गर्न अनुमति छैन्। हामी रोमन नागरिकहरू हौं र ती कुराहरू गर्न सक्तैर्नौ।”
22 भीडले मानिसहरूलाई पावल र सिलासमाथि आक्रमण गर्न साथ दियो। त्यहाँका हाकिमहरूले पावल र सिलासको लुगाहरू च्याती दिए र मानिसहरूलाई कुट्ने आदेश दिए।
23 तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई धेरैपल्ट कुट-पिट गरे अनि तिनीहरूलाई जेलमा थुने। जेलका अधिकारीलाई तिनीहरूले भने, “यिनीहरूलाई खुबै होशियारी साथ पहरा दिनु!”
24 जेलको अधिकारीले त्यस्तो विशेष आदेश सुनेपछि पावल र सिलासलाई निक्कै भित्र पुग्ने जेलमा थुने। उनले तिनीहरूका खुट्टा ठिङ्गुरामा कसे।
25 मध्यरात तिर पावल र सिलासले प्रार्थना गर्दै र प्रभुको भजनहरू गाईरहेका थिए। अन्य कैदीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई सुने।
26 अचानक त्यहाँ ठूलो भूईंचालो आयो जसले जेलको जग पनि हल्लियो। त्यसपछि तुरुन्तै जेलको सबै ढोकाहरू खोलिए। सबै कैदीहरू बाँधिएका साङ्गलाहरूबाट मुक्त भए।
27 जब जेल अधिकारी जागे। उनले जेलका सबै ढोकाहरू खोलिएका देखे। कैदीहरू अघि नै भागी सेकको कुरा उसले सोच्यो। यसकारण तरवार निकालेर जेल अधिकारी आफैलाई मार्न तयार भएको थियो।
28 तर पावल चिच्यायो, “आफैलाई घात नगर। हामी सबै जना यहीं छौं।”
29 जेल अधिकारीले बत्ती ल्याउन आदेश गरे। त्यसपछि उ डरले काम्दै भित्र दौड्यो उ पावल र सिलासको सामु लड्यो।
30 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर निकाल्यो अनि भन्यो, “महोदयहरू! मुक्ति पाउनलाई मैले के गर्नु पर्ला?”
31 तिनीहरूले उसलाई भने, “प्रभु येशूमा विश्वास गर तब तिमी र तिम्रो घरका मानिसहरूले मुक्ति पाउनेछन्।”
32 यसर्थ पावल र सिलासले प्रभुको सन्दश जेल अधिकारी र उसको घरमा भएका सबैलाई भने।
33 निक्कै रात छिप्पिसकेको थियो, त्यसकारण जेल अधिकारीले पावल र सिलासलाई ल्याएर तिनीहरूका घाउहरू धोइदिए। तुरन्तै जेल अधिकारी र उसका जम्मै कुटुम्बलाई बप्तिस्मा दिइयो।
34 तब जेल अधिकारीले पावल र सिलासलाई आफ्नो घर लगे अनि केही भोजन गराए। उ र उसको कुटुम्बका सबै मानिसहरू अत्यन्तै खुशी भए किनभने तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई विश्वास गरेका थिए।
35 अर्को बिहान हाकामहरूले केही सिपाही हरूलाई जेल अधिकारीकहाँ खबर दिएर पठाए; “ती मानिसहरूलाई छोडिदिनु!”
36 जेल अधिकारीले पावललाई भन्यो, “हाकीमहरूले यी सिपाहीहरू तपाईंहरूलाई छोडन लाउन पठाएका हुन्। तपाईंहरू अब शान्तिले जान सक्नु हुन्छ।”
37 तर पावलले सिपाहीहरूलाई भने, “तिम्रा हाकीमहरूले हामीले गल्ती गरेको कारण प्रमाण गर्न सकेनन्। तर तिमीहरूले हामीलाई मानिसहरूका अगाडी कुट-पिट गरे अनि जेलमा थुने। हामी रोमी नागरिक हौं, यसैले हाम्रो अधिकार छ। अहिले तिनीहरूले हामीलाई गुप्ती रूपमा पठाउन चाहन्छन्? होइन! तिनीहरू स्वयं आउनु पर्छ अनि हामीलाई बाहिर निकाल्नु पर्छ।”
38 सिपाहीहरूले जे पावलले भने ती हाकीमहरूलाई सुनाई दिए। जब हाकीमहरूले पावल र सिलास रोमी नागरीक भनेर जाने, तिनीहरू भयग्रस्त भए।
39 यसकारण तिनीहरू पावल र सिलासकहाँ आएर आफ्नो भूल प्रति क्षमा - याचना गरे। तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई जेलबाट निकालेर शहर छाडी जाऊ भने।
40 तीनीहरू जेलबाट निस्के पछि सिधै लिडियाको घरतिर लागे। तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ कतिपय दाज्यु-भाईहरूलाई देखे र तिनीहरूलाई उत्साह दिए। त्यसपछि पावल र सिलास आफ्नो बाटो लागे।
1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Mark 16 in Tamil and English
1 విశ్రాంతిదినము గడచిపోగానే మగ్దలేనే మరియయు యాకోబు తల్లియైన మరియయు సలోమేయు వచ్చి, ఆయనకు పూయవలెనని సుగంధద్రవ్యములు కొనిరి.
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 వారు ఆదివారమున పెందలకడ (లేచి, బయలుదేరి) సూర్యోదయమైనప్పుడు సమాధియొద్దకు వచ్చుచుండగా,
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 సమాధి ద్వారమునుండి మనకొరకు ఆ రాయి యెవడు పొర్లించునని ఒకరితో ఒకరు చెప్పుకొనుచుండిరి.
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 వారు వచ్చి కన్నులెత్తిచూడగా, రాయి పొర్లింపబడి యుండుట చూచిరి. ఆ రాయి యెంతో పెద్దది.
And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5 అప్పుడు వారు సమాధిలో ప్రవేశించి, తెల్లని నిలువుటంగీ ధరించు కొనియున్న యొక పడుచువాడు కుడివైపున కూర్చుండుట చూచి మిగుల కలవరపడిరి.
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6 అందు కతడుకలవర పడకుడి సిలువ వేయబడిన నజరేయుడగు యేసును మీరు వెదకుచున్నారు; ఆయన లేచియున్నాడు, ఇక్కడ లేడు; వారు ఆయనను ఉంచిన స్థలము చూడుడి.
And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
7 మీరు వెళ్లి ఆయన మీకంటె ముందుగా గలిలయలోనికి వెళ్లుచున్నా డనియు, ఆయన మీతో చెప్పినట్టు అక్కడ మీరు ఆయనను చూతురనియు ఆయన శిష్యులతోను పేతురు తోను చెప్పుడనెను.
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
8 వారు బయటకు వచ్చి, విస్మయము నొంది వణకుచు సమాధియొద్దనుండి పారిపోయిరి; వారు భయపడినందున ఎవనితో ఏమియు చెప్ప లేదు.
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
9 ఆదివారము తెల్లవారినప్పుడు యేసు లేచి, తాను ఏడు దయ్యములను వెళ్లగొట్టిన మగ్దలేనే మరియకు మొదట కనబడెను.
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10 ఆయనతో ఉండినవారు దుఃఖపడి యేడ్చు చుండగా ఆమె వెళ్లి ఆ సంగతి వారికి తెలియ జేసెను గాని,
And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 ఆయన బ్రదికియున్నాడనియు ఆమెకు కనబడె ననియు వారు విని నమ్మకపోయిరి.
And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
12 ఆ తరువాత వారిలో ఇద్దరు ఒక పల్లెటూరికి నడిచి పోవుచుండగా, ఆయన మారురూపముగలవాడై వారికి ప్రత్యక్షమాయెను.
After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
13 వారు వెళ్లి తక్కిన వారికి ఆ సంగతి తెలియజేసిరి గాని, వారు వీరి మాటనైనను నమ్మక పోయిరి.
And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
14 పిమ్మట పదునొకండుమంది శిష్యులు భోజనమునకు కూర్చున్నప్పుడు ఆయన వారికి ప్రత్యక్షమై, తాను లేచిన తరువాత తన్ను చూచినవారి మాట నమ్మనందున వారి అపనమి్మక నిమిత్తమును హృదయకాఠి న్యము నిమిత్తమును వారిని గద్దించెను.
Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15 మరియుమీరు సర్వలోకమునకు వెళ్లి సర్వసృష్టికి సువార్తను ప్రకటించుడి.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 నమి్మ బాప్తిస్మము పొందినవాడు రక్షింపబడును; నమ్మని వానికి శిక్ష విధింపబడును.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 నమి్మనవారివలన ఈ సూచక క్రియలు కనబడును; ఏవనగా, నా నామమున దయ్య ములను వెళ్లగొట్టుదురు; క్రొత్త భాషలు మాటలాడు దురు,
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 పాములను ఎత్తి పట్టుకొందురు, మరణకర మైనదేది త్రాగినను అది వారికి హాని చేయదు, రోగుల మీద చేతులుంచినప్పుడు వారు స్వస్థత నొందుదురని వారితో చెప్పెను.
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 ఈలాగు ప్రభువైన యేసు వారితో మాటలాడిన తరువాత పరలోకమునకు చేర్చుకొనబడి, దేవుని కుడి పార్శ్వమున ఆసీనుడయ్యెను.
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 వారు బయలుదేరి వాక్య మంతట ప్రకటించిరి. ప్రభువు వారికి సహకారుడై యుండి, వెనువెంట జరుగుచువచ్చిన2 సూచక క్రియలవలన వాక్యమును స్థిరపరచుచుండెను. ఆమేన్.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
